_. Productiveness. Of this list, the following 10 named in 
\order of productiveness, were most productive in 1894: 
Bubach, Smith, Bessie, Kincks, Zownsend’s Wo. 9, Gandy, 
Jucunda, Beder Wood, Greenville, Smeltzer. 
Taking into account the combined yield of 1893 and 1894 the 
following 10, named in order of productiveness, were most 
productive: 
Townsend’s No. 9, Townsend’s No. 20, Smith, Capt. Jack,

Early Varieties. When the berries of the above list are 
compared as to their season of ripening it is found that Michel 
still holds first rank as a very early berry, but, as is usually the 
case with very early berries, its total yield for the entire season 
is considerably less than that of the best mid-season berries. | 
Ranked according to the amount of their yield prior to June 
' 21 the early varieties stand as follows: Michel, Smeltzer, Curtis 
No. 154, Allen’s No. 3, Alpha, Hoffman. 
Late Varieties. Ranked according to the amount of their 
yield after July 3, the late berries stand as follows: Gandy, 
Prince of Berries, Thompson’s No. 40, Ohio Centennial. Gandy 
takes the lead as a late berry, but as is usually the case with very 
late berries, the total yield for the season is considerably tess 
than that of the best mid-season varieties.
